Honoring the legacy of classic Japanese toys is at the forefront of Funko’s mission with Jumbo Chan. These highly detailed sculptures feature joints that mimic Japanese figures of old, inspired by robotic and mecha heroes, revolutionary in their time for their detailed articulation. They stated, “The world was infatuated with the colorful, innovative designs, and unique characters of Japan’s toys, a passion that still lives on. Toys made of tin and soft vinyl were common until the shift to die-cast metal and plastic toys allowed for an improved level of detail and color.
